Chapter 26

Adam's POV

I sighed as i looked up at the bars that lined the wall. This place wasn't a mental ward it was like something out of a horror movie. Something worse than a prison. People came and disappeared everyday never to come back. Screams would echo the building late at night and it terrified me.

I was here with Tyler atleast . They had said we were both being transferred at the same time so i wouldn't be alone and I'll admit i didn't mind having Tyler around it was great but well he's Tyler it explains itself.

"I'm starving" He complained for the third time in the last hour or so. i shrugged and leaned against the wall.

"Me too dude but you know they won't feed us until later." This place had a perfect schedule and i had easily fallen into while Tyler struggled with just about everything. The fed us once a day dusk, which was in about an hour or so judging by the light coming in the small window above our heads.

"Yeah" he mumbled and slumped against the wall and removed his glasses wiping the lense on the hem of his shirt before putting them back on, "What do you think's gonna happen to us?"

What was going to happen to us? i couldn't help but wonder. Were we gonna be killed here? Or kept like prisoners for the rest of our lives? I had seen them drag people out who were screaming and begging for freedom. It was terrifying. One cell over was a man who had said he'd been here for 20 years. Would we be here that long?

Just as the thought passed threw my head the audioable creaking sound of the main cell room door opening rung out threw the air. Tyler's head jerked up and looked towards me in a panic. i met his eyes and nodded quickly.

Trying to make ourselves as small as possible we moved to opposite corners of the cell. i pulled my knees to my chest and buried my face in them leaving my head up just enough to see under my hair. Tyler had curled himself into a ball and was rocking back and forth whispering to himself.

I could hear the guards pounding footsteps coming closer and closer to our cell. The louder it got the harder my heart was beating. As they came to the front of the cell i swear my heart was going to jump out of my chest. The top guy looked into the cell for a moment and i held my breathe waiting for the jingle of the keys.

But it never came. He continued on down the hall instead opening a cell two down from ours. Tyler uncurled himself a bit and looked up at the door. We both knew what was coming and i ushered him over quickly. He scrambled over and pressed his face into my chest covering his ears with his hands.

Not a moment later the familiar screams of someone being taken ripped threw the air. it was a girl today, yesterday it was a girl too. They must have too many here. She practically screamed bloody murder and i could barely see her reflection in the bars of another cell. She was fighting.

I took my own hands and pressed them over Tyler's hands which were still over his own ears. He was shaking and hell so was I. We both knew what was coming. A Rippling gun shot came out through the air and Tyler muffled his sobs into my shirt. i slowly removed my hands and watched as they dragged the body of the girl out of the cell block leaving a trail of blood behind.

"I-It's okay Tyler. They took there victim today" i whispered slowly removing his hands from his ears. He sniffled and looked up nodding a bit. i smiled a bit and patted the top of his head "Let's get some sleep before dinner"

"Al...Alright" his voice was soft and he curled up against my side, "Night Adam."

"Night Tyler." I closed my eyes and leaned back against the wall. I don't know why but i had to protect Tyler here, he was like the little brother i never had. But i knew

I wasn't going to let him die here.

Ty POV

I approuched Woofless and Lachlan's house a little after 7:30 and pressed the doorbell. Woofless answered the door and motioned me to come in saying he was finishing up dinner and that Vikk would be here soon.

"Go ahead and make yourself at home. Lachlan should be down in a minute" Woofless exclaimed before disappearing into there kitchen again. I shrugged and plopped down on his couch reaching out and taking the remote flipping on the TV. Channel surfting last a minute until i setteled on SpongeBob. Hey don't judge it's an awesome show.

Just as the Spongebob theme song came on Lachlan came barreling down the stairs, tripped over a chair, combat rolled and jumped off the floor before hopping over the back of the couch into the seat next to me his eyes glued to the tv.

"Hello to you too Lachlan" He waved me off and kept focused on the episode of spongebob. it was the episode with the bubble person. Bubbleboy or something.

"Laclan you've seen that episode a hundred times!" Woofless shouted from the kitchen knowing the episode without even seeing it.

"A Hundred and Four times!" He shouted back, "It's one of my favorite."

"It's one of the lamest episodes." Lachlan turned to face me and had a look of horror on his face.

"Horrible. You are horrible." Laughing i rolled my eyes and got up walking away and into the kitchen.

Woofless stood in front of what seemed to be a large pot of soup. i sniffed the air and could isntantly tell it was chicken noodle. But you know homemade with all the vegies and stuff. Not the store brand stuff.

"Smells good." I admitted leaning against the counter. Woofless smiled.

"Thanks it's my moms recipe." He admitted stirring it slowly, "it makes quite a lot so we can eat this for a couple days." He set the spoon down on a paper towel besides the stove and reached into a coubard on the other side pulling out four bowls. He handed me one.

"Go ahead we don't have too wait for Vikk." He then took a ladel from a drawer and made himself a bowl and set it aside then made a second one and set it beside his before handing me the ladel.

I filled the bowl to just about the brim and grabbed a spoon Woofless set out for me and walked, carefully, out into the living room and took a seat on the loveseat.

"Here ya go" Woofless pulling out a Tv Tray table and set it in front of me. I set my bowl down and began eating.

"This is amazing" He smiled. "What's in it?"

"Secret recipe. Can't tell you" He winked and leaned forward taking a large spoonfull of his soup.

We ate in silence until the doorbell rang. TIme to meet Vikk.
